Im not sure if your question was answered,on cable for talladega? On the mercury’s the hood release is from the Lincon part bin 68-69 ” v shaped ” hood pull. I have heard that the cable is from “62” thunderbird,it is longer than the lincon’s not sure if “61” or “63” are same? I am not really sure how the Talladega’s differ? but the standered merc’s (w-nose) don’t have a cable or a pull.P.S. I have a standered 69 gt torino ,do not remember what it has,I can look if you want?

Peter, I am pretty sure they came with Firestone wsw tires. The Invoice (window sticker) state “wide oval belted wsw tires”. Good Years were used on the Cyclones with RWL but only Firestone tires were called “wide oval”. Anyone else want to jump in on this debate?

“Wide Oval” was the term used to describe the latest iteration of the bias-ply performance tires of the late 1960’s with the tread width much wider than the sidewall height (creating an oval shape looking at the cross-section of the tire). Firestone used the term in the name of their version (may have even been trademarked) but the Goodyear Polyglass GT was also considered a “wide oval” tire. The original spare tire in my Talladega’s trunk is a WSW Goodyear Polyglass GT tire.

I am looking for my Daddy’s 1969 Cale Yarborough Special! It was sold in Va about 16 years ago and meant so much to my 4 sisters and I! At the time we couldn’t afford it ourself but I really need to know where it is! My Daddy passed away 2 years ago and this car meant so much to him so I just want to know where I can find it! Please help me! Thanks in advance, Karen

We would love to help you find the car. First off, we need a lot more information about the car. The VIN is the most important but most people do not retain this information when they sell a car. If you have an old registration it should be on that. Next, provide us with as many details as you can about the car. What engine did it have; automatic or 4 speed; what color interior and bucket seats or bench? I am assuming it is a Spoiler and not a Spoiler II (the long nose version). Do you have any idea who it was sold to?
